Green Measures WLW Power After Step Up

Athens radio listeners noted WLW’s power boost from 50 000 to 500 000 watts making it the world’s strongest station. Prof D B Green of Ohio University measured field strength with a new meter. Readings: 770 microvolts per meter Wednesday morning and 1 950 microvolts per meter this morning, a 26 fold increase. Theoretically strength should rise about threefold since power rose tenfold and field strength scales with square root of power.
